From 1610 tomorrow, my holiday officially starts!
And my last paper tomorrow! The paper of death. I'm so not prepared cos I can't finish recapping and I don't think anything got into the thick skull of mine. I'm so freaking dead. But I still don't feel the urge to buck up): You can see this from the number of posts I've posted during my exam period. More posts than normal. Yep, since I didn't feel like studying, I decided to post instead.
Ohwells, all the best to myself tomorrow as I step onto the battlefield. Hopefuly I won't step on a land mine at the beginning or else, all's lost for me.

Gone with the old, in with the new.
I should have done that a long long time ago. Well, it's better too late then never. I'm glad I got rid of those stuff cos my shelf's a lot more empty and not so messy now!
And, I won't be reminded of them each time I see them again(although I don't even think much of it when I see it).
Stuffed toys, ring, necklaces, handmade oranments with saga seeds and glow-in-the dark powder , folded stars , cards and pictures.
Bye bye past. Hello future!
<3>
CHANTAL.
Ahh..My air-conditioner's spoilt! another night of sleeping in the sweltering heat): I was practically perspiring and I didn't want to open the window in fear of the Chikungunya virus going around. My room's an oven!
I miss Clauds, Luoer,Phyllis, Shoes and the guys in the clique(except Leon cos I see him in school everday!). I seriously miss them and I don't even know when's the next time I'll be able to see them.They;ll all be doing their A levels this except Phyllis and me and be heading off for University next year. I'M JEALOUS OF THEM;P I'm still stuck in Poly until 2010.
I miss the suntanning sessions and pool parties we would have. Even the time spent together during recess gossiping.
Not forgetting Fanghan and Pauline too. My sec 1 buddies till the end! <3>
CHANTAL.
Finally! Aftr 2 weeks of no air-con, I'm finally getting it back! Acutally I'm supposed to sleep without air-con for 1 week because I didn't turn off my airconditioner for a day and somehow it dragged on for another week. Was dying without it!
And Keith, remember to put on ur rubberand everynight! If not, u'll not be able to get your braces off next month!

OMG
Econs paper is in just 3 days time and I'm still slacking. Gotta Buck up but I just can't seem to find the discipline to just sit down and study like I did for O levels 2 years ago.
Speaking of O levels, it just seemed like last year. And I still can't get over the fact that I'll be turning 18 this year. Yes, I'll be able to drink and go clubbing but I don't think I'm be doing much of the latter either. Simply cos I'm not allowed to be out at night. My curfew's 10.30 and it's not about to change until the day I start earning money to support myself. Which will be after university and I'l be around 24. For then, no staying over at chalets and going overseas with friends):
And yes, the time I've been waiting for is coming soon!!!!! The 10 weeks holiday! OMGOMG.
I'll be attending more training sessions cos of the national champs! And I'll be heading off to USA, Hongkong and Macau for a short 2 weeks holiday! Yay! However, that leaves me with little time to train ): So I've gotta train HARD HARD HARD for the time left available. I won't let the girls down . Gonna row my heart out.
Training for wakeboarding IVP too! Ride the wakes~
And more time for Keith and my secondary school friends! Whoo!

My last paper Econs!
After that its the holidays for me! Whoo! Can't wait!
I know I should be putting my 110% into studying for econs but I can't can't concentrate and ended up playing with photoshop instead-.-
Econs, econs, econs. Friend or foe?

A saturday that doesn't feel like saturday.... No waking up early to head to Macritchie to row, and down to Kallang for polo. I kinda miss that feeling):
I went back to H.I.H.S today...I really really miss everything about the school, from the classrooms to the chapel and even right down to the security guard. Only this time I was with different company. Not with my secondary classmates anymore. Sure, I still see them nowadays, but I've wondered how it'll feel like if we all have lessons in school, in the same class again. I miss them.
I miss the sheltered life I used to have in school, I miss the company, I miss being caught by the discipline master for ankle/coloured socks, coloured bra, missing nametags, short skirts and hipster skirts. I miss the cheese macaroni and campcraft.
I hate the feeling of being detached from the school. Going back there brings back memories but also a different feeling whenthe people I see there are no longer the same anymore. My junors have mostly graduated from the school( which I just realised when I asked them today), making me feel so senior....so so OLD.
I'm 18 this year for god's sake. No more 16. I've gotta move on....

IDEAS. Check.
Newswriting. Check.
2 Projects down.
Finally, it seemed like forever to get those 10 projects done just a couple of months ago. I'm glad its over. But now for the bigest headache. The period of the zits. EXAMS!
************************************************************************************
After reading Yanli's blog, I can't help but think if this is related to the girls team. If this is what will happen to us...
"It all started with p. Ever since she told me about the news, i had been really... emo. Thinking about it now already left me in doldrums. What wld it be of me if that day finally come? Although it's only a year, i still feel that evoking sadness. I wish i didn't have to know. So i guess it's the whole separation and leaving thing.Inevitably, trainings will just feel different without one or two of them. And for the next 1, 2 years, I don't even want to think about it. It's alrdy like a habit to have them around, always. They are the ones who kept me sane. They are the ones where i know it should be a safe place to share my deepest secrets."
I haven't been going for training lately and this is because I'm grounded and exams...
For those who are close enough to me, I'm sure u know tht I'm grounded like almost 8/10 of my life and might be wondering how I got into this dreadful fate.
Well, because I left my house for a overnight competition and didn't tell my arents about it. It's not like they totally didn't know anything about it. I already told them that I'm going for the event but I didn't remind them about it.
Back to the main topic...I'm afraid for this new semester, things will be a lot different. With more power comes more responsibilities. I might not be able to attend gym sessions with the girls as often as I used to. I don't like gym trainings but the only thing that makes me want to go for it is the company. The pull ups we'll do together and help each other with, the enouragement while running and the fabulous time we have with each other while training. I'll miss that...

FINALLY! DVPA'S OVER!!!!!!!
It's not like I detest that module or anything but its just the amount of time and effort put into the project! A rough estimate of 18 hours for the whole filming and another 20 smth hrs for the editing. I've got enough of using Macs! So not user friendly. Too bad there's still more filming projects to be done with it.
Another 2 more projects to , 1 assignment , 1 test and 2 exams to go! Omg. I can't wait for the holidays! 10 weeks! ((:
After that, its back to school! More responsibilities, more commitment and definitely a hell lot more of projects and assignments.
Life's just a vicious cycle, a paper chase.
I don't think I can make it in life, even a radio DJ can't earn that much. I'll just face it, I can't earn big bucks in life. Singapore's media isn't really a good place to earn money. Wrong choice I made in choosing the course I'm in now. I shouldn't even have given up my aspiration of a lawyer.
What a screwed up life I have..
